Learn German: Flowers – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Which German name goes with which picture? Your child answers that with a single line. They look at the tulips, daisies and roses, read the German words on offer, and join each drawing to the right word. Along the way they learn how the German names of familiar things look in writing, tying the picture to the written word. This kind of practice is quiet and friendly, because it is all about reading and matching — not about writing anything yourself. Let your child think as long as they need; a connection may be redrawn at any moment. The loveliest moment is when a line runs from every picture to its matching German word and the whole match is complete.

In this picture-word match your child links each drawing to the right German word. The tulips, daisies and roses stand ready as pictures, with their German names beside them. Your child reads, thinks, and draws a line to the right word. So they learn to connect a picture with its written German name — no pressure, at their own pace, with no score. Because nothing has to be written, reading and recognizing take centre stage, and that is just what makes first steps into German so light and welcome for your child. Here is something special about German: it gives every naming word a capital letter, even a small cat or a ball.

Has your child had so much fun connecting? Then there is plenty more to discover! The matches about the flying things and the ones with winter things hold fresh pictures and new German words looking for their partners. And once your child is in the swing of it, a whole free collection built around the flowers is ready to go — free to print or simply to play online. That way learning German stays varied and gives a little fresh pleasure each day, all at your child’s own pace. Have fun reading, thinking, and connecting together!
